Sent out the first of the Far East (Asia) maps tonight. That marks the start of the 2nd half of leg one of the tourney.

Good luck everyone as the chase for a spot in the finals heats up

Thanks. You have Africa twice in groups B and C, and no Far East.

Someone is missing from the far east C game

I'll be working on a plan for this with an announcement likely Monday night.

Good eye, I thought I fixed that earlier in the tourney, but I only caught the lead group. I'll update it Monday

still waiting on this game #23140038

[flexmaster33]

Welcome templeyard into the Pod C mix. Sent out some catchup games tonight. We'll work on finishing off the Far East set by the end of the week.

[flexmaster33]

Sent out the Antarctic maps...three continents remain for phase 1 of the tourney.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to Evil Semp, who has gone 13-4-1 in head-to-head maps since taking over on PodA

[Lindax]

Congrats to Semp!

I should have 2 points in the 13+ column

Hey Flex,

We only have 6 players in the B Pool Antarctica game.

[flexmaster33]

Standings are updated...through most of the Far East (Pod C multi is still wrapping up).

b00060 is the leader right now in the chase for the wildcard spot with 74 points.

Also congrats to YouOnKazoo, RiverJ and RKCVED who are the players with more than one win on the multi maps, and it's no surprise with that that those three are on target for a spot in the finals.

Sent out the remaining Antarctica maps tonight. That leaves two continents remaining to make your push for the finals.

[flexmaster33]

Sending out the first of Africa tonight...

[flexmaster33]

Results through Antarctica and early Africa returns. Hoping to send more Africa maps before leaving work tonight.

Some top players are closing in on the 100-point mark.

[flexmaster33]

Updated standings...still a few players who can add points with the Africa map.
Sending out the first of the North America maps tonight, which will mark the finish to our qualifying round.

Top-two in each pool advance to the finals, along with the top 3rd-place players as a wildcard.

Here's what that chase looks like at the moment.

Wildcard: b00060 92
--------------------------
Tin Trumpet 91
RKCVED 81
actorday 80
lindax 78

Good luck making your final push

[flexmaster33]

luxbock joins the 100-point club ... four players have now surpassed that benchmark through qualifiers.

[flexmaster33]

Most 1 vs. 1s are complete, but we still have all three North America multi maps in play.

Four spots in the finals have been claimed and three are still up for grabs.

Also for the finals note a change in order for the maps (all the same maps, just juggled up differently).
And also a slight scoring change. Basically 5 pts for each win and 2 pts for losing in 13+ rounds and for any eliminations in the multi-map.

[flexmaster33]

luxbock is off to a fast start in the finals, but lots of maps still to go.

[flexmaster33]

Congrats to Lu block on getting to 10-0 before taking a loss in the finals.

New standings going up in a few hours

[flexmaster33]

And Lubbock takes the Far East multi map...he's off to a flying start in the finals.

[flexmaster33]

Tonight's invites to round out Aussie bring us to the midway point of the finals. Good luck all

[flexmaster33]

And onto the South America maps...good luck all

[flexmaster33]

Look for RiverJ to make a jump in the tally when I post fresh standings tomorrow.

He made a clean sweep of the Antarctica multi map, which gives us four different multi winners across the first five maps of the finals.

Good battles going here.

[flexmaster33]

I'll be adding up scores on Monday night for an update, but did send out the start of our final map -- Europe. Good luck down the stretch everyone.

[flexmaster33]

Tin Trumpet won a wild multi map on South America to move up into the No. 2 spot, as the gap to first place closes down a bit.
